1 Game or Several Games at once

[amurnin100]

When your platinuming games , can you focus only on one game or can you cycle through 2 or more games at once ….

Three usually for me:

1.  A co-op, which is longer term with my wife
2. a ‘long grind’ game, like an rpg or a roguelike
3. And smaller ones in between to break up the longer one

[amurnin100]

The first one would never happen with my partner “how to you move again” ???

I like to do 1 at a time but sometimes games pile on like currently....In the middle of quite a few.

[Copanele]

Either one huge game or several medium ones. I usually tend to play a big game in one go so I won't forget the controls/story

[DaivRules]

1 game per console (PS3, Vita, PS4) at a time.

Same but I wouldn’t go more than 3 at any one time

I can play 1 big game and if it’s grindy then squeeze a game inbetween

PS Vita games are so expensive these days ?

I try to do one at a time but sometimes I break off from that. If it is a longer game I may play some shorter ones also. 

[darkrequiem7]

Whether I am aiming for a Platinum or not, I play 1 game at a time with 2 exceptions:

 

I'll start up Hitman 3 to kill an elusive target.

 

I have 1 friend I'll play a co-op game with when he is available, which is once every few weeks.

Good to break it up now and again

[Evil_Joker88]

I jump around like 10 games constantly as i have 5 games i play online coop with friends and i have around 5 games i play by myself, 1 on ps3, 1 on Vita, 3 on PS4. I mix long and short ones, and different genres many Action and Action-Adventure games but also Adventure, Puzzle, Racing

[insainraven]

Typically I'm playing one to three games at once.

 

I'll follow one storyline for the most part 

pick another game that I'm cleaning up in the background  however these first two games are usually the same game depending on how much free time i have

Typically though if I'm in the final five trophies it's full steam ahead to finish that game.

 

Then a long term grind game that I enjoy (right now It's Hades) For context.

[GoonerLukeThe]

ideally I would like to concentrate on 1 at a time and I'm trying to make that happen, getting my backlog of games down to zero and then I will do 1 at a time so I don't get a backlog again

[EverythingOnFire]

One game at a time for me. I want to be as immersed in the experience as possible. Anything else and I feel like I'm doing both the game and myself a disservice.

[DeepEyes7]

1 game and FFXIV

[Eraezr]

Two single players and an optional MP grind/boosting.

for many years i had the thought that i should only play one game until i finish platinum/100%, nowadays not anymore, with the exception of some game that i'm waiting a lot like the last of us 2 was, so i focus totally on that game

[Deluziion90]

One at a time and sometimes a shooter on the side on my PC but that's about it.

 

If I'm playing a 100-150hr platinum game and I see a small DLC released for another game that kills my 100% I switch for the dlc but that's about it.

[KenjiCBZ]

I always play 3/4 games at the same time, and I try to make them be 1 for each console.

I try my best to focus on one game at a time. I might not necessarily get the platinum but I do try and at least finish the story so I can come back for cleanups at a later date. I just finished the campaign in Far Cry 3 but I don't feel like getting the platinum right now. However, I am going to be playing Ratchet & Clank 3 to platinum now.

[amurnin100]

I’m currently shuffling between Rez Infinite and challenges in Days Gone

[SoliDeoGloriaIHS]

Lately and usually, two to three at a time.  Lately, I have been trying to play and work towards the platinum for one game on each platform that I own - PS3, PS Vita, PS4.  For example, right now I am playing Uncharted 4 on the 4, Wet on the 3 and Hotline: Miami on the Vita.  Going forward, I am probably going to spend more time on the 3 and Vita in order to finish up my backlogs on those two platforms so I can focus strictly on the 4 and the 5 whenever I get around to getting a PS5.

Usually im one at a time. But when im in the zone ill easily run 3-4 at a time. Last month I was on fire, but that was just battering one game after another 1 at a time wheras this month ive got multiple plates spinning atm. Currently working on Marvels Avengers (Hives, Yawn!), Assassins Creed Revelations, Lego Dimensions PS3, Sleeping Dogs PS3, and Lego Movie Vita.

I do a few levels of dimensions every other day, im aiming for 5 hives per day on avengers, working on brotherhood in the spare time, and then winding down for bed on the vita. As soon as Dimensions is complete its time slot in my day will be replaced by sleeping dogs, and ive got Infamous Second Son lined up for after Revelations.

Ultimately it depends on how in form I am, what games im planning/feeling in the mood for, and then what they actually require to complete. If its a game I know well from platinuming another version previously or a new game (or old occasionally) im hyped to play ill tunnel vision it and get it done relatively quickly. New games usually are what get me back in form and I try to use that to carry me as far as I can get before either a glitched trophy, IRL, or burnout takes me out of form again.

[ChocoDoc1]

One game at a time. I want to immerse myself fully so I can understand the lore and story of the game, If I get bored I download a game on the app store like pokemon go if the game becomes repetitive or grindy just so I can go on playing haha

[ExHaseo]

It entirely depends on what I'm doing in the games. I like to have options for entertainment, depending on my mood or how much free time I have. Ideally, I just play one game. When I'm playing one game, that means it's good enough to completely hold my attention and entertain me. When I don't have a completely engrossing game to play, I'll play multiple games that each give me a different experience.

For example, right now the main games I'm playing are DCUO, Saints Row The Third R, and Steins;Gate 0. I play DCUO when I want to grind and watch something in the background. I'm playing Saints Row when I want to more actively play something. And I read Steins;Gate 0 at night to wind down. I really just make sure that each game I'm playing is giving a different experience. When I play multiple games that scratch the same itch, one always gets left behind.
